March 6, 1940

LONDON (Mar. 5)

Arabs are begging Jews to purchase land from them despite the new Palestine ordinance restricting such transactions, it was asserted at a Zionist meeting here last night by Joseph Baratz, Palestine labor leader. Baratz said that the representatives of 22 Arab villages have petitioned the Palestine Government against the ordinance.
